A countdown suspense novel centered on captivity and motherhood
Maggie has spent twelve years held in a basement after being abducted at fifteen. As her son Max approaches his third birthday, she faces a pattern that has already cost her two children: on each boy’s third birthday, her captor has taken him away. The seven-day countdown gives the novel a tightly defined crisis, while the premise places a mother’s determination to protect her child against the control of the person imprisoning her. This is psychological crime fiction built around confinement, an imminent threat, and the devastating stakes of Maggie’s attempt to break that cycle.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
- Adults seeking psychological suspense with a deadline-driven premise
- Readers interested in crime fiction centered on captivity and survival
- Fans of high-stakes domestic and family-focused thrillers

A race against time to save her child...
In seven days, Maggie's son, Max, turns three. But she's not planning a party or buying presents or updating his baby book. She's dreading it. Because in her world, third birthdays are the days on which the unthinkable happens... she loses her child.
For the last twelve years Maggie has been imprisoned in a basement. Abducted aged fifteen, she gave birth to two sons before Max, and on their third birthdays her captor came and took them from her.
She cannot let it happen again. But she has no idea how to stop it. And the clock is ticking...
